As for the rest of you turkeys (you know who you are; and so do
we) you can go stuff yourselves.

Happy Thanksgiving, Jim! Today I'm thankful I'm not Arny.

Yup, growing a brain can be a painful experience.

As opposed to already having one and using it to make you look
stupid on an almost daily basis, yes.

Look Phillips, you don't post here daily or anything like it. Whole
weeks, even fortnights go by without you posting here. So you can't
be talking about you making me "look stupid on an almost daily
basis".

I see. You're just trying to salvage whatever's left of your
credibility after I kicked your ass, so I'll give you that one.
Instead, I shall say "As opposed to already having one and using it
to make you look stupid over the last five years."

Nahh, Phillips this is just another one of your fantasies,
pedophile or otherwise. For example, google shows no posts from
you for Oct 5 through Oct 19 just to pick of your more recent
periods of incarceration or other kind of Usenet incapacitation.

That would be another fantasy of yours. In the real world, that's
when my mother-in-law died, and I had a lot of things to take care
of for my wife's family. In fact, I took a week off of work to do
so.

Why don't you point us at an obituary that proves your claim,
Phillips.

Why would you demand proof of such a mundane claim?

Something about Marc's long history of telling convenient, dramatic lies.

It's not
as if he's claiming he was off touring with the Rolling Stones or
climbing Mt. Everest. And what's the big deal about him not posting
for a two-week period, anyway? I once went SIX WHOLE MONTHS without
posting anything on Usenet, while I was on an aircraft carrier in the
middle of the Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, Marc goes away for two weeks,
and you're assuming incarceration??

There's a long history of disputes between Marc and I. Scott, do you often
go around and jump into disputes involving other people?

So Scott, there was something about Marc's claim that he just "kicked my
ass" that you didn't notice?

I've appreciated your help on technical issues here, but where
in the world do you get off asking a man to post proof of a death in
his family, as if he has to justify an absence of ANY length to you or
anyone else?

Notice what Marc tries to turn this "fact" into:

Let's compare that to you, posting here on RAO on the day of your
son's funeral.

IOW, because Marc had to clean up a lot of messes in his wife's family when
his mother died, it somehow reflects on what I did when my son died, some 5
years ago. Hint: our family worked together to resolve a lot of issues so
they all didn't require my 24/7 personal attention.

The bottom line Phillips is that some of us have minds big enough to
handle more than one thing at a time, and some of us don't. If you
grew yours a lot, you'd be able to understand what I mean by this.

I guess you think that Marc's lame attempt to use my son's death against me
is just fine, right Scott?

I see you've made a point of not taking any exception to it or questioning
it in any way. Just normal things you see every day, right?
